  • Lead the development of AI-powered product capabilities, including agentic and LLM-based features that support investigation, triage, and security operations workflows.
  • Define and evolve explainable decision logic so customers understand why issues are prioritized or actions are recommended.
  • Contribute to approaches that assess the potential scope and impact of security issues.
  • Establish evaluation methods to measure model quality, effectiveness, and reliability over time.
  • Incorporate product usage signals and feedback to guide continuous improvement of ML and AI systems.

  • Demonstrated ability to design guardrails and human-in-the-loop mechanisms for automated or AI-assisted actions.
  • Experience operating ML or AI systems post-launch, including monitoring behavior, iterating based on feedback, and addressing reliability or trust issues.
  • Familiarity with LLMs and agent-based approaches, with practical awareness of reliability, safety, and evaluation considerations.
